But tuesday my right hand (index finger mostly) was tingling all day, also hurts a bit today, so I'm taking a break for a couple days. I don't know how progamers play a dozen hours daily though, must have ergonomic mouses or something | ||

Don't jump into a game with 500apm spam, play at a comfortable pace and your apm will go up as more actions are required. -Be relaxed. I find listening to pumping music does make you play faster, but only very temporarily. If you want to play for an extended period of time, keep a good posture, be relaxed, and keep very hydrated. Sleeping more helps too. You should not: -Curve your wrist on the keyboard/mouse. This happens sometimes when you tense up, and you WILL get Carpal Tunnel eventually. -Strike the keys with muscle power, for reasons such as a desire to increase raw apm. Instead, just like playing piano, you should hit the keys rapidly without a need to tense up your forearm or shoulders. It should be a finger response, nothing more. Edit: After I realized how I was tensing up straining to increase apm artificially, I started to play while in a relaxed manner and my apm jumped from 190 to 250, from C+ to B-. i like your tips, but how to control breath? because sometimes i feel tired and i realized i wasnt breathing when i need much multitasking or micro i stop breathing dont know why | ||

Boy can you imagine the ravenous hordes of responsibility-shirking mothers? On a slightly more helpful note, I think a good number of people hold their breath when they're concentrating very hard... you might want to step back a bit and relax  | ||

A lot of the times I'll be practicing solos that require my hands to move at fast rates with a high amount of concentration, and Starcraft is not really different in that respect. Only a slightly transferable skill... | ||

There is nothing wrong with spamming in general (everyone all the way to the pros do it), but you can't make it something you really think about. | ||

I disagree. Playing guitar will leave your fingers with better dexterity and you will be able to reach your fingers further across your keyboard. It certainly helped me. | ||

Less white flour, bad oils, and salt (NaCl) Go with beans, whole grains, fruit, nuts as much as you can. The potassium and especially eating sea-salt vs table salt will really help your muscles from cramping. Also, as far as gaming, check out this idea. I play vs someone (who is willing) till about midgame, as much APM as you can. Then, take a 10 minute break. (you should be like 10-15 min into the game). Think about something totally different, maybe get some water. Come back, sit down, recally where you are and what you are doing, and youll find you play the endgame totally differently. At least for me, this REALLY helped my Hive tech when I played zergs. Something about the break, and comming back a new with all the Hive units really helped. For anyone who has mental or physical fatigue in >15 min I suggest you find a practice partner and try this. | ||

I can play a 45 minute game with 250 apm without problems. I think this is something you just have to train to do, unless you're protoss Also I average 287 apm in my replays folder and average game length is 17 minutes or so. | ||
